The MetService Blog is basically New Zealand’s go‑to spot for weather nerds and anyone who just wants to understand what’s going on outside. They break down everything — big cyclones like Bune and Yasi, storm surges, fog, you name it — in a way that actually makes sense.

They also chat about how forecasts are made, why the models sometimes argue with each other, and how satellites like Himawari help meteorologists keep an eye on things. And every now and then they throw in fun stuff, like how to make a cloud in a bottle.

If you’re curious about the weather or just like knowing the “why” behind the forecast, it’s a super handy place to explore.
